Fun with jets.....
Other fun things about jets:
-They are far more difficult to deal with when you have to abort a takeoff.
-They produce most of their useable engine power at the upper third of the
throttle.
-They don't slow down immediately at the flare when throttles are reduced
like a propeller plane.
-If the engines are close together like a DC-9, single-engine flight is much
easier than if the engines are on the wing. Of course, a yaw-dampener
helps alot.
You can buy jet manuals on Ebay and some flight simulators are dirt-cheap and have really good information in them. I suspect by the time you retire, most airliners will be entirely autoflight, possibly flown by teenagers on sim consoles only when there is an emergency. Just wait and see. Good luck!
